October 30, 2019

CTU remains on strike, which means classes will not be in session tomorrow, Wednesday, October 30. After school programming will not be available at CPS schools.

The district remains committed to working around the clock to reach agreements that respect and honor the hard work of our teachers and support staff while also protecting the historic academic progress our students have made in the past decade. Please review our latest offer to CTU.

Important Information for Parents

School buildings will be open for students who need a safe place to stay during the day.

Students are encouraged to attend their regular school, but we will welcome students at any CPS school that serves their grade level.

Breakfast and lunch will be offered at school, and students will be provided with a meal to take home.

It’s important to note that regular transportation services will not be available, but CTA will offer free rides for students until the conclusion of the strike.

If students require medical, special education, or nursing support, the staff who regularly provide those services will not be available during a strike. We will, however, ensure contract nurses are available to support students as needed.

Chicago Parks and Chicago Public Libraries will also be open, along with Safe Haven sites and other community partner sites. Please use oursite locator to find CPS and non-CPS sites near your home.
